Stephenson injured his groin during the third quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Suns, returning briefly in the fourth quarter before heading to the locker room for good.

Analysis:

He finished with just seven points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3P, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes. Stephenson's first season in Charlotte has been a very disappointing one, and an injury won't improve matters.
